Health Coverage for Working-Age Adults Rose in Every State Since 2013

Many states continued to see improvements in health insurance coverage rates for all age groups between 2019 and 2023, according to American Community Survey (ACS) data released on Thursday.

Uninsured rates dropped in 17 states for children, 42 states for working-age adults, and in one state (Florida) for adults age 65 and older from 2019 to 2023.

But fewer states saw drops in uninsured rates than from 2013 to 2019, when rates declined in 37 states for children, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia for working-age adults, and in 14 states for older adults.

News Release

American Community Survey: New Statistics Available from the 2023 ACS 1-Year Estimates [ [link removed] ]

Over 21 million renter households spent more than 30% of their income on housing costs in 2023, representing nearly half (49.7%) of the 42.5 million renter households in the United States for whom rent burden is calculated.

Although the median ratio of income-to-housing costs for renters remained unchanged from 2022 at 31%, there are differences in the income-to-housing cost ratio when comparing across householder’s race. That’s according to newly available data tables released on Thursday from the 2023 American Community Survey, 1-Year Estimates.
